CDs use a format called Red Book audio, your computer displays it as .WMA because Windows has to translate it to that format to make it readable. I'm on a Mac and when I put a CD in my computer I never see .WMA and instead see .AIFF (or I think sometimes .WAV) because that's how my computer translates it. The extension you see is based on what your particular operating system uses rather than what the CD itself contains.

Anyway, why would you have to convert it to .m4a? You can set your iTunes preferences to import it as a whole bunch of different file formats.
